We show how to obtain infinitely many continued fractions for certain Z-linear combinations of zeta and L values. The methods are completely elementary.
Many generalizations of continued fractions, where the reciprocal function has been replaced by a more general function, have been studied, and it is often asked whether such generalized expansions can have nice properties. For instance, we…
Inspired by a recent beautiful construction of Armin Straub and Wadim Zudilin, that 'tweaked' the sum of the $s^{th}$ powers of the $n$-th row of Pascal's triangle, getting instead of sequences of numbers, sequences of rational functions,…
The present paper is in a sense a continuation of \cite{PLS}, it relies on the notation and some results. The problem tackled in both papers is the nature of the continued fraction expansion of $\sqrt[3]{2}$: are the partial quotients…
A real vector space combined with an inverse for vectors is sufficient to define a vector continued fraction whose parameters consist of vector shifts and changes of scale. The choice of sign for different components of the vector inverse…
We give continued fraction expansions of the generating functions of Bernoulli numbers, Cauchy numbers, Euler numbers, harmonic numbers, and their generalized or related numbers. In particular, we focus on explicit forms of the convergents…
We extend the close interplay between continued fractions, orthogonal polynomials, and Gaussian quadrature rules to several variables in a special but natural setting which we characterize in terms of moment sequences. The crucial condition…
Zaremba's conjecture concerns a formation of continued fraction expansions for rational numbers with partial quotient bounded by an absolute constant. We present asymptotic estimates for the size of $\epsilon$-thickening of certain fractal…
Beuker's [2] considers the following integral $$ \int_{0}^{1}\int_{0}^{1} \frac{-\log xy}{1-xy} P_n(x)P_n(y)\ dx dy$$If $d_n=\text{LCM}(1,2,...,n)$, then $$ 0<\frac{|A_n+B_n\zeta(3)|}{d_n^3}<2(\sqrt{2}-1)^{4n} \zeta(3) $$ for some…
We reformulate several known results about continued fractions in combinatorial terms. Among them the theorem of Conway and Coxeter and that of Series, both relating continued fractions and triangulations. More general polygon dissections…
In this paper we recall some results and some criteria on the convergence of matrix continued fractions. The aim of this paper is to give some properties and results of continued fractions with matrix arguments. Then we give continued…
Recently, Sun [preprint, arXiv: 2210.07238v7] proposed two conjectural series for the mathematical constant $\zeta(4)$ and two conjectural series for the mathematical constant $\zeta(5)$. In terms of the operator method and two…
In recent decades, a growing number of discoveries in fields of mathematics have been assisted by computer algorithms, primarily for exploring large parameter spaces that humans would take too long to investigate. As computers and…
As the conclusion of a line of investigation undertaken in two previous papers, we compute asymptotic frequencies for the values taken by numerators of differences of consecutive Farey fractions with denominators restricted to lie in…
We give combinatorial descriptions of the terms occurring in continuants of general continued fractions that diverge to three limits. Equating these with the usual combinatorial descriptions due to Euler, Sylvester, and Minding induces…
Roger Apery's seminal method for proving irrationality is "turned on its head" and taught to computers, enabling a one second redux of the original proof of zeta(3), and many new irrationality proofs of many new constants, alas, none of…
In the course of the proof of the irrationality of zeta(2) R. Apery introduced numbers b_n = \sum_{k=0}^n {n \choose k}^2{n+k \choose k}. Stienstra and Beukers showed that for the prime p > 3 Apery numbers satisfy congruence b((p-1)/2) =…
In this paper, we pose many challenging conjectures on congruences involving binomial coefficients and Ap\'ery-like numbers.
In this paper we present a method to derive Eulerian continued fractions arising from a sequence of integrals. As examples, through a new derivation, we reproduce classical continued fraction expansions for the natural logarithm, the…
Recently Raayoni et al. announced various conjectures on continued fractions of fundamental constants automatically generated with machine learning techniques. In this paper we prove some of their stated conjectures for Euler number $e$ and…
